Declaration of intent
My main influence as an artist is nature and human behavior, my environment is my greatest teacher and my intention is to communicate my reflections through the sensitivity that art can facilitate for me.
I understand the world as a place worthy of care and respect, I understand the human being as a being that needs to learn to be kind to the world and to each other despite differences of opinion.
I am interested in conveying a vision where the injustices of the world are a warning, an opportunity to change the direction of things.
My usual language is ceramics and textiles. Through these disciplines, once considered minor works, I aim to highlight them naturally and make them part of contemporary conceptual art.
My work is to understand nature and emotions as a place that unites all human beings and in this way we stop feeling as if we were not from one place. We leave aside differences, borders and inequality.
I feel special when I get artistic pieces, it is such a pleasant journey, creation has moments of sacrifice and research, many times they are challenges that make you grow and get new experiences, you learn as you go.
My study and love for sewing, ceramics, design and drawing define me as an artist and a person.
I believe in coherence between personal and professional life, it is essential to live in harmony.

Bird in its nest
A tribute to the birds that do a meticulous job of building their nests , many of which are true works of art. The only tool that birds use to build their nests is their beak. They are complex but simple structures, which they need to survive and feed themselves.

Visual imbalance
Balance determines the place that each element must occupy so that a design, composition or space makes sense visually. The lack of this balance generates tension and visual chaos, but sometimes what you don't achieve also counts. Another parody of visual perception and its laws. Unretouched digital photography. Shoes treated with ceramics and textiles.

Each ceramic piece is handmade without any type of mold, making them unique as happens in life itself, a set of unique and extraordinary experiences that do not need to be the same to share spaces.

Emotions

Bust intervened with ceramics and hand-embroidered textile
Year 2022
There is a struggle of emotions because what you feel and think do not go hand in hand. This disrupts your peace of mind and you hope to try to do the best even though sometimes you can't do anything and you have to let yourself go.
Have you ever needed to put a picture straight or change something's position to feel better? If so, you can empathize with this work that tries to make a parody of visual perception and its laws.
You decide if you want to live in a hostile world or prefer to look with love at the details it gives us.
A clear example of “revelling” in idealism and falling in love with a poetic idea, even if it is not at all functional. The very life of hopeless aesthetes and poets.
